Sue we have a small TV in our bedroom. Technically it's too small but even when I had a console table for it in place of the piece I have now (which greatly restricts the size we could use) I would not get a larger screen. Just as you mentioned, I don't want the TV to be the focal point - it's not a media room. Our viewing distance is a lot farther than yours - close to 16' and our TV is a 23". But the reality is, when in bed the ONLY thing I watch is the 10pm news and possibly a bit of Nightline. Neither requires big screen viewing IMO. The only other time I watch that TV is if I'm ironing and for that I'm much closer so distance and screen size are not a factor. We used to have a console table as I said but it was a particle board piece of junk so I got rid of it. That viewing height was very similar to what we have now which is about 32". However, before we drilled the back of this cabinet the TV sat on top for a loooong time and that viewing height is about 48" - 50" and it was fine. In fact, my DH worried he wouldn't like it lower again but since I gave him no choice, he's adjusted ;-) These are taken with my head pretty much on my pillow as it would be for viewing. And I can also tell you that at night, I can't read the time on that Bose clock radio to save my life!!! As you can see here, the DVD player is shoved in behind the TV - we never used it so didn't bother to hook it back up.

I actually took out bi-fold doors on the guest room large closet and put in sliders. Then in my office/extra bedroom, we built a closet and put on a bi-fold door. Master bed has slider doors that I'm flirting with removing and replacing with something different, too. But the closet has built in drawers below the closet (so did the guest room) and it's a pain to remove them. I'd like to see other options too, so please, post pic folks!

Well, we put in an offer on ANOTHER house (this is the 3rd one) Maybe the third time is the charm? The bedroom is much smaller than my current room which is over 13x17. I'll worry about the furniture IF we get the house! Cliff and Joan - the room size of this particular house we put the offer on is 12'11"x13'7" My furniture, if pushed up against each other with no room in between is 12 feet, exactly. Bed is 80"w and each of my nighstands is 32"w. That gives me 1'7" in this home, and it's not enough to be able to enter the bathroom. Your bedroom looks lovely. Seems it's a long room?? Below is a pic of the room in question. The current owner has a queen bed and one nightstand on the right side of the bed. The window you see in the first picture, right to the left of that (see 2nd picture) is the bathroom doorway. RED, it's been hard for me to find a home with a large master that has the other features I'm wanting in a house. Most newer homes have the large master I'm looking for, but don't have the formal living room and/or layout I'm wanting, so I'm limited. Older homes seem to have the layout I want, but not the big master bedroom. I too agree with Kiko, see below. KIKO, got the point and am agreeing with you. I'm getting rid of alot of other furniture. I like my furniture but can live without it. I'm just not sure how to put "odd" pieces together and wanted to see how others would put a bedroom together made of mixed pieces of furniture, without it looking feminine. NICOLE, thanks for posting the pic of your bedroom. Neat bed! Thanks to everyone else who replied, truly appreciated. Hope others will respond who have a room like this, it's nice to see how others have their rooms and how they've put things together. Guess we'll see how this goes with this offer. I've learned not to get excited about any home anymore. I won't get excited until the day it closes! BUT, whatever home I get, it seems a smaller bedroom is going to be something I'm going to have to go with - just can't be TOO small, some I've seen are 12x10- nay, nay!! Thanks all!

You might consider the attachable or cascading hangers. Began using the Homz brand of these years ago from Target. Several manufacturers now make them, along with loop shapes alone for attaching hangers you have. They are flatter than the regular plastic hangers so take up half the rod space of those. They hook to each other vertically without crushing the fabric. Bed Bath & Beyond carries this type in 10 packs for $4, an average price. Ignore the prices at Amazon (too high in my book) but read the reviews, including one from another 1920's homeowner. Although we have a large walk-in closet now, still appreciate the degree of organization they offer, such as 5 summer-weight long sleeve shirts hanging in a line together with sleeves exposed so I can choose one easily, along with the hanging space they free up. My DH finally decided to try them & was surprised it's much easier now to locate what he's after. I put shirts right out of the dryer on these hangers & find they don't wrinkle hanging in the closet. There are also children's sized hangers like this useful for lingerie, as well as skirt hangers. Hang purses from them, too, stacking the hangers & enclosing the whole thing in a clear zippered dress bag. Shoes not worn daily go with silica packets in individual clear plastic shoe boxes labeled with ID that stack neatly, boots in larger boxes of double width & same height, feet at opposite ends & shanks along the outsides forming two interlocking L's. Two of the shoe boxes fit atop one of the boot boxes & it's easy to restack them for the season. They fit on a top shelf or floor & keep footwear clean & easily retrievable. Out of season sweaters are stacked into wider versions of the boot boxes, with arms folded across the front & the bottom folded to the neck in front. Keeps them from creasing & several fit in each box. Out of season pants & trousers go into the same size box, folded so the legs of one interlap the next pair, keeping them from wrinkling. After measuring my pants from waist to hem, found a dresser with drawers long enough to fit them without folding. Pants & sweaters are swapped out from dresser drawers to boxes each season. Inexpensive pretty hatboxes hold odds & ends, stacked or on shelves. Can you tell I've lived in homes with no or skimpy closets over the years? Some of those closets were 6" deep with single doors & hooks screwed to the wall or ceiing. Resorted to flat-top wooden trunks with & without legs that could be stacked to conserve floor space. Still have a 3-stack of those in the front room here, with others doing duty as end tables, coffee tables, bedtables, bedroom trunks & window seats in this modern home with plenty of large closets. Craft stores & places like Tuesday Morning & Marshall's carry inexpensive decorative cardboard & wooden nesting boxes in a variety of patterns & configurations, including book boxes that stack or sit upright. These hold desk papers, folders, magazines & catalogs, gloves, hats & scarves in the coat closet, even my brush in the powder room with a pedestal sink & no vanity. So fond of trunks & boxes, even the matching end tables flanking the LR sofa are hinged trunks on legs holding a stash of board games close at hand & out of sight...
